The plum garden is located in the north of the garden of the eldest princess's mansion, although it is not the solar term of the plum blossoms at this time, but it is also open two to three percent.

It has not snowed again in recent days, but the garden is still covered with snow, and the plum trees stand proudly in the snow, and the red plums on the branches reflect the snow-white of the garden.

In the warm pavilion in the plum garden, Mo Li saw the salute, and the eldest princess beckoned: "The girl is coming to her mother's side." ”

Mo Li obediently sat beside the eldest princess and praised: "The plum garden of the stepmother is really an elegant place, and you can smell the fragrance of plums as soon as you enter the garden." ”

"It's not time yet, it's more than a month...... It's just in its heyday. It's a pity that the heavy snow a while ago crushed a lot of plum branches, and I'm afraid there will be no grandeur this year. The eldest princess showed a hint of regret.

Mo Liwan smiled: "Although there are no flowers, maybe there will be something different?" ”

The eldest princess was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "You girl is an open-minded person." If it's always the same, it's boring. ”

Mo Li glanced at Ruoping, Ruoping presented the gift he brought, and Mama Liu hurriedly stepped forward to take it.

"You girl, too, it's good if people come, what kind of gifts do you bring?" The eldest princess said angrily.

Mo Li smiled: "Knowing that there is nothing lacking in the stepmother's mansion, this is just a little bit of my daughter's heart." The daughter also wants to thank her stepmother for rewarding her descendants. ”

The eldest princess patted the back of her hand and asked, "Are those three people still agreeable?" ”

"Of course it's agreeable, the people who go out of the eldest princess's mansion, which one is not first-class." Mo Li blinked, "However, I'm afraid they are wronged by following me." ”

"Where is this, to be able to follow the daughters of this palace, that is their blessing. Those two girls haven't been in the house for a long time, but they are all clever, and they are pleasing to the eye, if you like it, use it as a second-class girl, and if you don't like it, let them do some rough work. Mama He was originally in charge of some chores in the outer courtyard of the house, she is honest and willing to do it, and she also has some skills, you just look at it. ”

The eldest princess paused, and then said, "The palace of Bac Ninh is ...... With a large population, it is inevitable that there will be inconsiderate places, and Xi'er will pass through the door in the future, and there will be no less people around him. ”

Mo Li didn't understand what the eldest princess meant, and what was going on in the Beining Palace, no one in the capital didn't know. After her daughter-in-law entered the door, she didn't know what would happen, and she couldn't do it without a few of her own people.

When Mama Liu gave it away, she even sent the deed of sale, and today the eldest princess said these words, which naturally reassured her that this person was given to her, not to put eyeliner next to her.

Having said that, even if the eldest princess planted eyeliner, it is better than using people in the palace of Bac Ninh, as long as it does not harm the interests of the royal family, the eldest princess will still be on her side.

Mo Li smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your stepmother's teachings!" ”

"I can't talk about teachings, if there is anything in the future, just send someone to tell this palace." The eldest princess touched Mo Li's cheek lovingly.

She accepted Mo Li as a righteous daughter, and she did have some selfish intentions, but after more contact, she also really liked this little girl.

Mo Li accompanied the eldest princess to lunch, talked for a while, and saw that she was a little tired, so she said goodbye and left.

……

There was only less than a month left before the wedding day, and the whole Mo Mansion began to get busy, and the people in Ruolixuan were even more nervous, and even the fifteenth and seventeenth who were often hidden in the shadows had to show up and be sent some errands.

Duan's housewife was even more busy, and she didn't even have time to rest. Although the Yu family handed over the middle feed in the house to her as early as a few years ago, after all, this kind of major event of marriage is the first time to handle it, for fear that it will not be taken care of anywhere and something will go wrong.

On the contrary, Mo Li, who is the party concerned, can't intervene if he wants to, and he seems to be much more idle than others.

In the afternoon of this day, Jiayin came in to report: "Miss, the eldest lady sent someone to say that the furniture for the big wedding has been obtained, please come over and take a look." ”

In order to make furniture, the Duan family specially asked people to clean up a small empty courtyard in the house, and invited craftsmen a few days after the marriage, and it has been more than a month now, and it has finally been completed.

Mo Li had never been to see it before, this was the first time she had come to this courtyard, several side rooms were opened into a large room, and as soon as she entered the house, a faint scent of sandalwood came to her nose.

Duan's people invited the most famous craftsmen in the capital, and the craftsmanship is naturally first-class.

The furniture is as large as the carved bed, as small as the kang and a few low stools, all of which are exquisite. The shape is generally simple and simple, decorated with various auspicious patterns and decorations, and the lines of each part are upright and beautiful, each of which is a work of art.

After Mo Li saw it, she felt that she was satisfied with everything, and the Duan family was naturally happy, and the two sisters-in-law talked about the dowry while looking at the furniture.

"Big lady, something is wrong!" A little maid rushed into the courtyard while shouting.

Duan recognized that the person who came was waiting beside Mo Haoxian, and couldn't help but sink in his heart and asked, "But what happened to Xian'er?" ”

"Big lady, the little young master is gone!" The little maid sobbed.

Duan's eyes were dark, and she almost didn't fall, and the maids on both sides hurriedly supported her.

Mo Li frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you not see it?" ”

"The little master is resting...... After I woke up, I was playing in the back garden, and there was a seller of ice red fruits outside, and the little master wanted to eat it, and the nurse ...... couldn't resist him, so he and the slave maid took the little young master together...... Get out. On the street behind the house, the little master went to chase the vendor, and he ...... It's gone. The little maid was frightened when she saw it, and her speech was intermittent.

"Don't go find it yet! If you can't find it, don't come back! Duan roared, and the people hurriedly rushed out.

"Ruoping, call Fifteen and Seventeen to go out and have a look. Sister-in-law, you wait in the house, I'll go back as soon as I go. Mo Li said, and asked Duan's maid to take care of Duan's family.

The back door of the Mo Mansion was wide open, and the people in the mansion ran to the back alley.

This alley is not wide, and it is not often passed by, although the garden of Mofu is next to the alley, Mo Haoxian is usually in the garden, and the backyard wall is not close to the distance, if it is an ordinary passing shout, it is impossible to attract attention.

Moreover, even if a hawker passed by, he would not be selling in such an alley where there were almost no people. Obviously, this is a deliberate attempt to attract the child's attention and lure him out.

Mo Li said the doubts in his heart to Ruoping, fifteen and seventeen. All three of them were well-trained secret guards, so naturally they thought of this.

"I'm afraid that the family members and subordinates in the house will not be useful, so you should hurry up and find it." Mo Li said.

Ruoping hesitated: "Miss, we all went out, in case we ......"
